Carbohydrate films on gold based on dimannoside thiols (DMT) were prepared, and a complementary surface chemical analysis was performed in detail by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), FT-IR, and contact angle measurements in order to verify formation of ω-carbohydrate-functionalized alkylthiol films. XPS (C 1s, O 1s, and S 2p) reveals information on carbohydrate specific alkoxy (C–O) and acetal moieties (O–C–O) as well as thiolate species attached to gold. Angle-resolved synchrotron XPS was used for chemical speciation at ultimate surface sensitivity. Angle-resolved XPS analysis suggests the presence of an excess top layer composed of unbound sulfur components combined with alkyl moieties. Further support for DMT attachment on Au is given by ToF-SIMS and FT-IR analysis. Carbon and oxygen K-edge NEXAFS spectra were interpreted by applying the building block model supported by comparison to data of 1-undecanethiol, poly(vinyl alcohol), and polyoxymethylene. No linear dichroism effect was observed in the angle-resolved C K-edge NEXAFS.
We investigated the ageing of amine-terminated
self-assembled monolayers (amine-SAMs) on different silica
substrates due to exposure to different ambient gases,
pressures, and/or temperatures using time-of-flight secondary
ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) with principal component
analysis and complementary methods of surface
analysis as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and
near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS). The
goal of this study is to examine the durability of primary
amine groups of amine-SAMs stored in a user laboratory
prior to being used as supports for biomolecule immobilization
and other applications. We prepared amine-SAMs on
the native oxides of silicon wafers and glass slides using 3-
aminopropyl triethoxysilane, by using optimized conditions
such as anhydrous organic solvent and reaction time scale of
hours to avoid multilayer growth. Selected commercial
amine-SAM slides have been investigated, too. When the
amine-SAMs are exposed to air, oxygen incorporation
occurs, followed by formation of amide groups. The formation
of oxygen species due to ageing was proved by ToFSIMS,
XPS, and NEXAFS findings such as CNO- secondary
ion emission at m/z 42, observation of the N 1s HNC=O
component peak at 400.2400.3 eV in XPS, and, last but not
least, by formation of a π*(HNC=O) resonance at 401 eV in
the N K-edge X-ray absorption spectrum. It is concluded
that the used multi-method approach comprising complementary
ToF-SIMS, XPS, and NEXAFS analyses is well
suited for a thorough study of chemical aspects of ageing
phenomena of amine-SAM surfaces.
Functionalised surfaces are of interest in many fields, e.g. in biomedicine, materials science and molecular electronics. In this study a series of self-assembled aliphatic and aromatic monolayers on gold substrates with terminal amino groups was investigated. Four different thiol molecules were used: aliphatic 11-aminoundecane-1-thiol (AUDT), aromatic 4-aminobenzenethiol (ABT) and aromatic ω-amino thiols with an alkyl spacer as 4-aminophenylbutane-1-thiol (APBT) and 3-(4''-amino-1,1':4',1''-terphenyl-4-yl)propane-1-thiol (ATPT). Evaluation of N 1s XPS data revealed that on the aromatic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) amino groups exist preferentially as primary amines, whereas on the aliphatic SAM protonated and/or hydrogen-bonded amines are the major species. This result is crosschecked by N K edge near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy and can be rationalised by the different basicity of aliphatic and aromatic amines.
The chemical composition of the functional surfaces of substrates used for microarrays is one of the important parameters that determine the quality of a microarray experiment. In addition to the commonly used contact angle measurements to determine the wettability of functionalized supports, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) are more specific methods to elucidate details about the chemical surface constitution. XPS yields information about the atomic composition of the surface, whereas from ToF-SIMS, information on the molecular species on the surface can be concluded. Applied on printed DNA microarrays, both techniques provide impressive chemical images down to the micrometer scale and can be utilized for label-free spot detection and characterization. Detailed information about the chemical constitution of single spots of microarrays can be obtained by high-resolution XPS imaging.

Cr2O3, CrCl3, α-CrF3, CrF3·3H20 and Cr(OH)3 were investigated by x-ray photoelectron (XPS) and x-ray excited Auger electron spectroscopy (XAES) using a latest generation XPS spectrometer. Non-conductive powders are analyzed with ultimate energy resolution. Multiplet splitting features and/or satellite emission were observed in the Cr 2p and Cr 3s spectra. Cr(III) compounds are of interest in many applications as for example in corrosion and catalysis. Chromia and chromium-III-fluoride activated by reaction with fluoroalkanes are very promising industrial catalysts. It is the aim of this selection of spectral reference data to enable deeper insight in the formation of catalytically active fluorinated chromia phases by using XPS analysis.
